A 27 year old woman writes into Dan Savage with the anagram Perseverance or Withdrawal, Eternal Regrets asking for advice about finding a safe place to find potential sexual partners, as the outlets that she choose in the past left her with angry men and being sexually assaulted. She knows of a sexual and kink safe community, but the fees to join are $1,000. Without proper funds people like POWER are left vulnerable to the sexual violence and exclusion more fortunate and privileged kinksters can afford. Race is another factor that plays into the isolation of kinksters. Some people of color report instances where they feel like they don’t belong or that the only real reason why they are invited to events and interacted with is because their race is the fetish. Some…

The first clowns were not as we know them today. The “clown” has been documented to have their origins traced back to ancient Egypt Old Kingdom Fifth Dynasty some 4,500 years ago and nearly 4,000 years ago a Chinese emperor filled his court with clowns (Bala, 2010).

This week’s reading in Gunsmith Kinks was one that I believe could do a lot of good for someone new to shotgun choking. Before reading the words of V.M. Starr in our reading this week I had next to no knowledge about how to choke a shotgun. Mr. Starr went on to explain that “his first experience choking a shotgun was in an old blacksmith shop on the farm in Ohio where he was born”. He stated that he and his father “took a shot-out muzzle loading rifle and bored it to about 24 gauge and worked a…

It is only supposed to happen in porn, all kinksters have a foot fetish, and at least one person needs to be restrained or gagged at all times. Because kink is such an unmentionable issue, I have never gotten to speak to someone about the realities of the topic. In spite of this, Ethan Grier’s lecture on kink, controversy, and consent was a very…
